An Era Dawns (Worm/Kaiju)

Wanna see what going to the beach is and I would like to try and resolve the lizard nonviolently before prt get involved.

[X][PLAN] Reckless? Not at All.

Never actually finished Worm, but this looks cool. Hopefully all the Worm quests I've read are enough for me to understand what's going on.

Also, as for the Avatar options - are there 3 different Godzillas in this, or are they all just facets of one Godzilla?
 
Honestly. I think it's fairly likely that Taylor will be outed as a 'parahuman' before we ever hit that station of canon which brings up a whole new type of problem.

Since a lot of Emma's internal justification for her bullying her former best friend was tied up in trying to make her trigger, she saw it as an ultimately twisted kind of help.

So having Taylor 'trigger' in the three months the trio left her alone would probably shatter that hard.

How she would react is anyone's guess.
It's ultimately only about 10 days of break. I don't think we'd get to having Significant enough Adaptations that we couldn't hide them by the end of it. At least not if we do other things as well. And I personally want to go Independent Hero/Rogue this run.

Though given we'll be getting into combat, our Prowess will probably be closer to Career level by the time we return to school. There's a couple of options I see.

Option 1: Uno Reverse Card. Unexpectedly Yeet Sophia into the Locker (not locking it, but she's now in her own health hazard). Would probably need an equivalent to Magnetoreception, but it's dramatic, makes their whole setup blow up in their face, and makes it clear we're done being pushed around.

Option 2: Breakout. Get locked in, growl menacingly, deliver appropriate force to the right part of the locker via Comp.Analysis enhanced learning, and casually walk out less than 10 seconds after we got locked in, alongside a wrecked door. Dramatic, establishes that Taylor can fold them like an Omlette if needs be, causes the same kind of questioning as to whether we're a cape, and (if we're appropriately dramatic and just walk away), rubs into their face that the only reason they don't currently have broken bones is that they're so pathetic it's not worthy of our time.

Seems to be facets of the same Gojira. Lunaryon mentioned Goji was something of a Mix of the Reiwa Godzillas (Assumiedly not including AniGoji - he's kind of a dick.)

Each one is an individual aspect of the Godzilla and what he is and represents.

Canon shows her go to reaction is to shut down and refuse to leave her bedroom.

•Despair when faced with his power and what it means. Imminent unstoppable death and destruction that adapts to anything you throw at it and keeps going.
•Evolution that never stops improving. Smarter than you, better than you, always changing, never static. Made of things you can't possibly understand.
•Nature and what the Earth is capable of doing without and in spite of the folly of humanity. The raw savage primal force of a creature you never dreamed could be real that shall punish you for your hubris.

Wasn't that her reaction when she personally succeeded to make Taylor trigger?

Not when it just happened out of nowhere with her not involved in it as far as she's concerned.

On the topic of Prowess.

I actually do think that while a Taylor who gets rid of untested will be career level stat wise, there is a not insignificant chance that she will also have a Brute Package so to speak by then.

Would be weird if she'd gotten into fights to get rid of the trait and not developed one by then.

To use UQ as an example, in the same way that there is an inherent difference in durability between Normal Humans > Ranma > Senshi.

I imagine it'd kick in around the time she develops a nuclear reactor to keep herself warm. :V

She did it twice.
First one after the ABB encounter. Though not as severe as her later one it shows a tendency in how she processes trauma. She doesn't.

She already has. She feels warmer according to the descriptions in the voting options.

Average Humans < Trained Humans < Psychic Humans < Parahumans < Shobijin/Avatars < Kaiju

This seems to be what our inherent threat scale would probably look like.

It was her reaction when she realised she turned Taylor, the person she associated with Weakness, into Skitter. And that she was living at Skitters Mercy.

To many, this is an oxymoron.

At that point, she thought Skitters wrath was inevitable... not putting together that Taylor just didn't give a shit about her.

I will say that it didn't help that once she worked up the courage to leave, the person who she then met was Sophia. Who gave her an actively unhelpful worldview that she used to pretend she had gotten over/surpassed her fears, except she obviously never did.

If she'd actually learned some healthier coping mechanisms and learned to better work through the Trauma, the second one might not have happened.

Best to pop that bubble early. She's still going to have a breakdown, but better now than when she is convinced she's written her own death sentence.
 
Mostly working off fanfic knowledge.

But from how I typically see Alan Barnes depicted, I'm not quite sure her father was willing to confront the problem or acknowledge it was a thing.
 
Her wealthy lawyer dad should have paid for some therapy sessions.
And if she refused? Therapy isn't helpful if you have to physically drag a person there.

Like, I'm not saying Emma is a good person. She's not. I do want to break her current mental state in order for her to improve as a person, even if I never really want her being friends with Taylor again.
 
If I remember correctly, her mother wanted her and Alan to both go to therapy, but Emma didn't want to, and her daddy didn't want to make her. Also he didn't want to go.

Eh I only have any real hope (and desire) for Madison.
Emma is broken and twisted, Sophia is downright toxic and actively hostile. This is Lunaryon though so let's see how this all goes.

Not that I want us to interact with those 2 at all.
 
Lunaryon in previous Worm Quests does have the habit of softening the edges of Worm characters and making them more likable / redeemable so I wouldn't call most people lost chances.

A question of if the effort is worth it? Maybe.

But there tends to be a hopeful tone in cases like the TMNT and Ben 10 Quest in terms of people.
 
I also have a very particular opinion about Emma, one that I know not everyone is going to agree with. So it will be interesting to see how things come out from all of this.
 
Oh man.

If Emma of all people is Mothras Shobijin, that's gonna be heck to deal with.

...What do people think her reaction to realising she's getting Gregor Samsa-d would be?
 
Gregor Samsa is the protagonist of Kafka's 'Metamorphosis'. One day, he wakes up and discovers he's turned into a giant insect.

If you're suddenly thinking about Gregor the Snail - that's the reason for his name. Samre reference.
Gotcha.

I suppose it depends on how drastic the change looks, Emma does want powers in canon, she just literally doesn't have the potential to trigger.

So…

It would likely be on if her newfound power and ability to be a 'predator' trumps her freak out.

I imagine that Kaiju also do something to make sure there avatars don't experience too much dysphoria.
